“Composition is just improvisation in slow motion,” said Arnold Schoenberg. “Composition is slowed-down improvisation, and improvisation is sped-up composition,” said Wayne Shorter. This time, saxophonist János Ávéd explores the full spectrum of the 12 tones and the relationship between composition and improvisation with such excellent musicians as Veronika Harcsa, László Fassang, Máté Pozsár, Péter Ajtai and Attila Gyárfás. In 2013, John O'Gallagher fused Webern's music into the idioms of New York contemporary jazz, testing the applicability of Anton Webern's compositional methods to improvisation. This theme is also at the heart of János Ávéd's research. Is it possible to spontaneously create twelve-tone musical structures while maintaining the integrity of the compositional technique? How far does improvised music remain in Webern's style? Should it remain in this style at all? Is there such a thing as twelve-note jazz?

Tickets are available for 2800 HUF on the spot, online at bmc.jegy.hu, and at InterTicket Jegypont partners across Hungary.
